Xavi, about the 'high' before the Classic: "It doesn't mean anything, it will be complicated"

The FC Barcelona has survived and triumphed in the first of his two finals of this week. The Barcelona group won to the Galatasaray to achieve his ticket to the quarter-finals of the Europe League 2021-2022. The culés threw of character and a lot of personality to give turn to the marker and shut to a 'Galata' that tried it to the end, but that it was inferior in front of the culés.

It is a key triumph because the Barça played too much. Xavi Hernández, trainer culé, has valued the work of the team and the spirit of fight to the end of his players: "I Think that we have done a big party. We have played with personality. We have known to attack. We have had patience. We have traced back in a difficult field. They have defended well. They followed to the man. We have done it better that in the gone. It is a team gentleman. They have played very well", it commented in room of press.

"I do not see me favourite. We do not know to the rivals and they yes to us"

The trainer egarense, on the traced back, aimed that "it is important to trace back fast. We have insisted, had calm and patience. The result is short", but this does not want to say that the Barça was favourite to win the Europe League: "I do not see me favourite. We do not know to the rivals and they yes to us. We do not have the experience to play it. But we have to us ilusionar".

Likewise, the one of Terrassa underlined that "the people considers it the second division of Europe, for nothing. There is equipazos. It is a turning point in the project. We are in chambers, but see more favourite to the Seville, knows the competition and has won it the last years".

Without magic of face to the Classical

Of the 'subidón' and the confidence in the previous of the Classical in front of the Real Madrid, this Sunday to the 21:00 hours in Spain, Xavi has said that "today it was important. It is a European title, want to arrive far. We are very happy. And maybe we arrive in a very good moment. But it does not mean at all, I have seen them of all the colours. It will be very difficult. It will be complicated".

Protagonists of the afternoon

On the 'MVP' of the party, Pedri, the trainer culé has aimed that "has done two dribblings. It is a golazo. Able of this and much more. 19 years. A privilege. It is a goal of a spectacular beauty, sublime. It marks the difference. Today it went of the contrary, with control oriented. It generates even with individual labeling, this already says it everything. It is necessary to be more responsible with ball. I do not want comparisons with anybody. It is brutal".

On the other hand and to finalise, 'wetted' with the players that went out lesionados. Of Gerard Hammered, commented that "I change him because has annoyances and were not to give. It carries a month with annoyances. We did not think in the Sunday", whereas of Sergiño Dest aimed that "had annoyances in the isquiotibiales and expect that it was not important".
